Businesses in Longford are being urged to get behind a new commercial text alert scheme and county voucher programme
Longford Chamber of Commerce, along with the County Council plan to launch a new alert app for local businesses.
It's designed to inform staff and owners of suspicious activity or criminal incidents around the county.
